Playing & Trading Strategy

Is a fund manager allowed to invest in their own fund at IPO with their main port? I'd like to be able to track the fund's performance... Willroast Mar 31, 18:56

Nice profile pic btw Willroast {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 19:27

i wouldn't see why not - doesn't affect the price {nm} CjGaughan Mar 31, 20:32

No You Can Not Invest In Your Own Fund (inside) EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 21:01

ER, I believe he is asking if his personal (i.e. main) port can invest in the fund he's managing. {nm} DTravel Mar 31, 21:06

Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. {nm} Willroast Mar 31, 22:37

You are on point ER. In fact, funds can't invest in funds period. {nm} Willroast Mar 31, 22:38

yes, your personal port can buy your fund. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Apr 01, 00:17

This. Trades do not affect a fund's price. Only the stocks it owns do. {nm} eyescovered Apr 01, 04:30

This is still an obscure way to manipulate things for your main port though (not that I would ever do it). That's why I asked. SEETVFund Apr 01, 04:57

*There {nm} SEETVFund Apr 01, 04:58

There is no way to manipulate a funds price... fund owners can invest in all funds thru their personal ports..... RazorHawk Apr 01, 07:12

well they could try and manipulate it by manipulating the stocks that the fund owns. That's a bit much though {nm} Dorfman Apr 01, 08:58

You could do that with any funds' holdings. If someone is willing to cheat on here, there are much better (and faster) ways to do it. {nm} eyescovered Apr 01, 09:38

I have a list. {nm} RazorHawk Apr 01, 09:54

Is it hidden!? Is it safe!? {nm} Gandalf Apr 01, 12:49

Ha! {nm} Dorfman Apr 01, 20:33

It has the list and won't share. We hates it. We needs our precious H$. {nm} Initech Apr 01, 20:40

For high-BO releases, does anyone else buy BOTH the Call & Put? DTshakes Mar 31, 18:42

I buy both Call and Put all the time - it's an easy low cost hedge against performance {nm} JDolphin Mar 31, 21:26

It is not that easy alexthegreat SCIFund Mar 31, 18:19

The funds side should be to make money not take a stand on any particular stock. {nm} JDolphin Mar 31, 21:23

Exactly JDolphin. I fund manager had to do what ever he has to do to make money for the investors. {nm} EarlyRetirement Apr 01, 14:45

Great job with the fund ER and thanks for the awesome report! {nm} Willroast Mar 31, 18:07

BTC weekend reporting? MattW Mar 31, 15:02

And their Gatsby estimate was right on as well MattW Mar 31, 15:06

BTC got a new job and lost access to his source... then he went inactive at HSX RazorHawk Mar 31, 15:11

Why is the longest ride .ow not trading? {nm} tatoufan Mar 31, 12:45

Any HSX traders also avid stock traders? nkliph3 Mar 31, 12:19

I'm sure there are. What's the follow on question? {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Mar 31, 13:04

What makes you think there's a follow up... {nm} nkliph3 Apr 01, 08:14

...j/k, wanted to discuss what strategies you've learned/practiced on HSX appply to the market, or vice versa? nkliph3 Apr 01, 10:50

WHOA! THE MAGNITUDE OF STARBONDS+KAIGEE..... {nm} aleksthegreat Mar 31, 10:41

Just a quick reminder for everyone throwing around their SmekMillions, UNIVX is a pure FAST7 play right now. Ready to pivot and make bank! {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 31, 09:54

Why are you holding shares of other funds? {nm} RazorHawk Mar 31, 10:05

I radar the other studio funds just to compare my performance to theirs. Never traded, guaranteed to generate no profit for the fund. {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 31, 10:09

I know you are a returning player,... HSX has a new feature exactly for that....Green Navigation Bar ---> Community ---> Trader Watchlist RazorHawk Mar 31, 10:26

Good idea, but if I sell them now the Fund will profit so...... {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 31, 10:31

You {nm} FOXXfund, stu Mar 31, 11:14

You'll get more info from Trader Watchlist. FOXXfund, studio fund YTD leader Mar 31, 11:16

I agree, the Trader Watchlist is great and I will use it. On paper value is irrelevant, the only way to realize a profit is to sell.... Universal 100 Fund Mar 31, 11:36

No worries, I know it's not a big deal. Keep oing a great job with UNIVX. FOXXfund, studio fund YTD leader Mar 31, 12:08

Thanks, my regular port appreciates your March explosion. {nm} Universal 100 Fund Mar 31, 12:25

There are so many strategies bud. But the best one for a new player is find the best Starbonds and make your early bank that way... Willroast Mar 28, 03:46

Thank you(more inside) mattep74 Mar 28, 10:32

On weekends like this one, the best strategy is to go all-in on the surprise hit opener that is a sure thing to adjust way up tomorrow {nm} VDIES si Mar 28, 04:30

My suggestions <inside> EarlyRetirement Mar 28, 08:50

@EarlyRetirement - scifi question Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 27, 19:16

I will explain inside SCIFund Mar 27, 21:36

Okay - I understand :) I didn't misunderstand how the fund works, which is all I care about :) Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 27, 22:41

Also, I am fully invested in 3 of the 4 StarBonds for SMEKD, so money is also coming there. {nm} SCIFund Mar 27, 21:44

I had just got home when I wrote my original reply... SCIFund Mar 27, 22:31

Oh heck yeah - you're doing a great job! I wasn't trying to criticize :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Mar 27, 22:42

I did not feel you were criticizing me. Good question and hope my answer made sense. {nm} SCIFund Mar 28, 06:29

I think you are outpacing the learning curve by a long shot. Fantastic work. I especially appreciate your explanation. Makes total sense. Willroast Mar 28, 01:04

Music Fund... why aren't you trading Get Hard? {nm} AFRAM The African-American Fund Mar 27, 17:58

Too late, I realized i made a mistake in EAP GOD ITFLW, Should be above 20. So I unless it bombs, I may lose my 1st place :( {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 11:18

Has my Vote to Allow a Special Exception Adjustment to 20.00. RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort Mar 28, 09:53

Poll: What is the most profitable stock (in gross H$, not % gain) currently in your port? Initech Mar 27, 09:38

AVNG2. Paid H$365.31, currently H$536.65 for a gain of H$17,134,246.40 {nm} JustWondering Mar 27, 10:10

MGCM2 up $2.3 mil. Prior to that I sold off JURA4 I had held for years and made more money than God. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 27, 10:22

AVNG2 is mine as well. Bought at IPO for $220. Up $31,665,000. I'm not sure there is a more profitable stock out there. {nm} Willroast Mar 27, 10:28

AVNG2, up H$30,004,000 {nm} slappydavid Mar 27, 10:48

AVNG2 - +27.98mil , way ahead of my next highest CAPA3 - 13.1 {nm} JDolphin Mar 27, 11:12

+1 {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Mar 27, 14:44

AVNG2 with $31.5M, then JLEAG for $20.88M profit {nm} BSmurf Mar 27, 11:46

AVNG2 up 23M {nm} tealfan Mar 27, 12:19

AVNG2 w/ +$31.5M, highest % is GBUMP w/ +13,000% {nm} lapuckfan Mar 27, 12:21

FAST7 - up $22,001,000.00 {nm} DTravel Mar 27, 12:57

FAST7 is up 5.3m for me, followed by SMEKD with about 4m. MattW Mar 27, 13:21

SW16....10 million plus change...followed closely by GOTG2 and STAR8 {nm} horrorfanatic Mar 27, 15:39

AVNG2 is 31.6 mill; STAR7 is 14.11mill; HGAM4 is 13.87mill; CAPA3 is 13.79 mill; MNION is 11.87 mill; JB24 is 11.04 mill {nm} RazorHawk Mar 27, 16:54

all of these I bought and held since IPO {nm} RazorHawk Mar 27, 16:55

So Razor, was I correct in thinking that the most profit currently available on a single stock is Avengers 2 from IPO? Willroast Mar 27, 19:04

Yes, currently the most profitable is AVGR2 holding from IPO RazorHawk Mar 27, 20:57

RogerMore would be the dude to get exact numbers and amounts from {nm} RazorHawk Mar 27, 20:59

Certainly this goes out to 007 and also you and all other old school guys. Back in the day (the good old days as I remember them)... Willroast Mar 28, 00:55

RH is too flattering as I don't track IPO prices, so I can't give exact numbers. But... RogerMore Mar 28, 13:31

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. It seems as though this is the runaway for the current version of the game. {nm} Willroast Mar 28, 00:49

JLEAG, around 20M {nm} Canis Mar 28, 18:51

Thanks to all that participated. I picked up AVNG2 at IPO and sold it with a nice profit. Totally misread that one for sure. {nm} Initech Mar 29, 06:46
